Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leyland

I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Leyland conveyancer is advising me that he has toconduct Leyland conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Leyland conveyancing searches.

Do conveyancers ask for money up-front for conveyancing in Leyland?

If you are buying a property in Leyland your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the sale price then this will be required shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.

Both professionals handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both obliged to handle Leyland conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly carried out and that all requisite steps should be correctly followed.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Leyland. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Leyland lawyer having made sure that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Leyland surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I am buying a new build flat in Leyland. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Leyland

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

20 days into a sale of a flat in Leyland. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay a fortune by the landlord. So far we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for supplemental queries raised by the purchaser's lawyer.

Neither you or your property lawyer will have any control over the extent of the fee for this information however the average fee for the information for Leyland leasehold property is £380. For Leyland conveyancing transactions it is usual for the vendor to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions although many will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates capped fees for administrative tasks. There is no statutory time limit by which they are required to provide the information.
